A stereotypically masculine-acting woman with the looks and style of a feminine woman.
The gentlefemme is much alike the Butch but a thousand times more classy and womanly.
(picture Frank Sinatra as a hot lesbian)
Peggy is a true gentlefemme.
She's got high class style, both a mechanic and a lawyer, and treats her woman like a lady.
A (traditionally) feminine looking woman with a big portion of the best from the masculine behavior.
Mainly used to refer to a classy mature lesbian, and especially a lesbian who is attracted to feminine lesbians.
A person of the female sex who decides to give up on becoming a dress wearing lady to become a gentleman. The woman does not need to be genderqueer (or any other transgender label), or a lesbian of any kind to do this.
I saw Laura and her girlfriend at the dance last night, and she's become such a gentlefem. Laura was there treating the ladies better than the actual gentlemen!
